SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on September 15, 2022, based on a 

complaint filed on behalf of Google LLC 

(‘‘Google’’) of Mountain View, 

California. 87 FR 56701 (Sept. 15, 2022). 

The complaint, as supplemented and 

amended, alleged a violation of section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based upon 

the importation into the United States, 

the sale for importation, and the sale 

within the United States after 

importation of certain audio players and 

components thereof by reason of 

infringement of certain claims of U.S. 

Patent Nos. 9,632,748 (‘‘the ’748 

patent’’); 9,812,128 (‘‘the ’128 patent’’); 

11,024,311 (‘‘the ’311 patent’’); and 

11,050,615 (‘‘the ’615 patent’’). Id. The 

complaint further alleged that an 

industry in the United States exists as 

required by section 337. Id. The 

Commission’s notice of investigation 

named as the respondent Sonos, Inc. 

(‘‘Sonos’’) of Santa Barbara, California. 

Id. The Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations was not named as a party 

in this investigation. Id. 

The Commission previously 

terminated the investigation as to claims 

1–4, 11–12, and 14–15 of the ’748 

patent; the ’128 patent in its entirety; 

claims 1–3, 8, 9, 11,1 12, 14, 15, and 20 

of the ’311 patent; and claims 2, 3, 7, 8, 

10–12, 15, and 18 of the ’615 patent. See 

Order No. 20, unreviewed by Comm’n 

Notice (Apr. 10, 2023); Corrected Order 

No. 30, unreviewed by Comm’n Notice 

(June 8, 2023); Order No. 40, 

unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (July 10, 

2023). The Commission also granted 

summary determination that the 

importation requirement of section 337 

had been satisfied, and that Google 

satisfied the economic prong of the 

domestic industry requirement pursuant 

to section 337(a)(3)(B). See Order No. 

27, unreviewed by Comm’n Notice (June 

6, 2023); Order No. 31, aff’d with 

modifications by Comm’n Notice (June 

28, 2023). 

The presiding ALJ held an evidentiary 

hearing in this investigation from June 

20–26, 2023. 

On September 15, 2023, the ALJ 

issued the subject final ID finding no 

violation of section 337 because: (1) as 

to the ’748 patent, none of the Accused 

Products or Redesigned Products 

infringe the asserted claims, none of the 

Domestic Industry Products practice the 

asserted claims, and the asserted claims 

are invalid as anticipated; (2) as to the 

’311 patent, the Accused Products and 

Redesigned Products SVC #5 and #7 

infringe claim 10 and the Domestic 

Industry Products practice claims 10, 

11, 16, and 17, but the asserted claims 

(except for claim 18) are invalid as 

anticipated or obvious, and the asserted 

claims are unpatentable under 35 U.S.C. 

101; and (3) as to the ’615 patent, the 

Accused Products infringe all asserted 

claims (directly and indirectly), but 

none of the Domestic Industry Products 

practice the asserted claims, and the 

asserted claims are invalid as 

anticipated or obvious. 

On September 29, 2023, Google filed 

a petition for review, seeking review of 

certain of the ID’s findings concerning 

claim construction and validity as to the 

’311 patent. That same day, Sonos filed 

a contingent petition for review of 

certain of the ID’s findings regarding the 

validity of claim 18 of the ’311 patent, 

as well as infringement and validity of 

the ’615 patent. The parties filed 

responses to the petitions on October 

10, 2023. 

Having reviewed the record of the 

investigation, including the final ID, the 

parties’ submissions to the ALJ, the 

petitions, and the responses thereto, the 

Commission has determined to review 

the ID in part. Specifically, as to the 

’311 patent, the Commission has 

determined to review the ID’s findings 

regarding: (1) claim construction of the 

term ‘‘detect[ing] a voice input;’’ (2) 

anticipation of claims 10, 16, and 17 by 

Rosenberger; (3) anticipation of claims 

10, 16, and 17 by the VoicePod System; 

(4) anticipation of claims 10, 16, and 17 

by Jang; and (5) the patentability of 

claims 10, 11, and 16–19 under 35 

U.S.C. 101. On review, the Commission 

has determined to affirm with modified 

and/or supplemental reasoning the ID’s 

findings on these issues. The 

Commission has also determined to 

review and on review does not adopt 

the paragraph beginning ‘‘Lastly . . .’’ 

in the ALJ’s construction of ‘‘[forgoing/ 

forgo] responding’’ set forth in Order 

No. 14 at page 41. As to the ’615 patent, 

the Commission has determined to 

review the ID’s finding that claims 6 and 

19 are not invalid as obvious over 

Roberts. On review, the Commission has 

determined to take no position on this 

issue. The Commission has determined 

not to review the remainder of the ID. 

The Commission adopts the ID’s 

findings to the extent that they are not 

inconsistent with the Commission’s 

opinion issued concurrently herewith. 

This investigation is terminated with a 

finding of no violation of section 337. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on December 

13, 2023. 

The authority for the Commission’s 

determination is contained in section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in part

Low Melt Polyester Staple Fiber From 

South Korea and Taiwan 

Determinations 

On the basis of the record 1 developed 

in the subject five-year reviews, the 

United States International Trade 

Commission (‘‘Commission’’) 

determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 

1930 (‘‘the Act’’), that revocation of the 

antidumping duty orders on low melt 

polyester staple fiber from South Korea 

and Taiwan would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time. 

Background 

The Commission instituted these 

reviews on July 3, 2023 (88 FR 42688) 

and determined on October 6, 2023 that 

it would conduct expedited reviews (88 

FR 73870, October 27, 2023). 

The Commission made these 

determinations pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)). It 

completed and filed its determinations 

in these reviews on December 13, 2023.
